LOSS or az LITFs
yg-geA OF a Schooner off the Coast
of Oregon.

VI SFe&uAs
OTTAWA, April 21.-A special from
Victoria, B. O., gives an account of
terrible ship wreck, accompanied by
loss of 80 lives which occurred off the
coast of Oregon, about 80 miles north of
Cape Flattery, in the early part of the
month. Information was first brought in
by four Kyuginot Indians, who arrived at
Victoria this morning, having occupied
10 days in making the overland journey
from the scene of the wreck. For some
time past great anxiety had been felt re-
parding the schooner Active, having on
board Eve Swedes and 30 Olayaquete In
dams, and which WAS long overdue. The
schooner was owned by Guttman 81 Go. of
Victoria, and was registered at 420 tons.
Last week Mr.. Frank, one of the own
ers, went up the west coast on the gov
eminent steamer Sir James Douglas in
search of news OF the missing vesael, but
had not yet returned. The Active was
engaged in general coast trade, and had q
valuable cargo of assorted merchandise on
board, which, however, was not insured.
The schooner appears to have been caught
in storm which ragged during the early
part of the mouth, and to have been
dashed on the shore, where she speedily
went to pieces, all hands undoubtedly
perishing.
As far as known, no one witnessed the
disaster, the Indians having their atten.
ton first attracted by the large quantity
of wreckage washed ashore. Bunks
Indian mats, bedding, 10, were al
washed up, but nothing actually bearing
the name Of the vessel. The general de
scription, however, with the nature Of
the articles reported to have been re
covered, leave no doubt that the yesse
was the Active.
Among those who have perished ar
Mr.. Jake Guttman, one of the owners
Captain Gotschsmel, AHA jacobson
Charles Frederick and Billy Lessong, be
sides the 2S Indians. The latter belon
TO Chief Kilsormats tribe. Chief Xii
sormat himself was on board, the othe
Indians being hunters. The death of tn
chief is tantsmount to the extermiuatio
of the tribe, and Kilsormat's tribe wi
soon be extinct. According to custor
of this tribe all the huts of this unfol
tunate men have been burned.

The rorpedo T.aunch Accident.

ANNAPOLIS, April 20.--An examination
of the steam torpedo launch Hull, which
was sunk by an explosion yesterday,
shows that the accident to the boat was
due to the breaking of the secondary spar
which allowed the torpedo to come suffi-
GENTLY near the boat to spring leak in
it by concussion. The torpedo was dis
charged at the time intended but the loca-
ton of the torpedo having been altered
by the unknown accident caused the leak.
The helm of the Hull was put hard-a-port
to avoid the column of water that usually
follows the explogion of torpedo, and
the Hull ran in from IA feet of water to 10
feet sinking in few moments. The boat
has been raised, Is being repaired and
will be used tomorrow, the regular day
for torpedo practise.

the extent Of the liberality of the

BALTIMORE, April 22.-Miss Mary Garrett,
sister of Robert Garrett, has made o propo-
sitton to the trustees of Johns Hopkins Uni
yersity, which may result in the removal OF
the institution 10 Clifton, the country seat
Of the founder of the university. The late
John W. Garrett favored the Clifton loca-
lion. hut the rest OF the trustees, with two
exceptions, thought the site unfavorable.
There was sharp controversy but MT
Garrett failed to carry his point. After that
he took very little interest In the institution.
20 bitter was the feeling that when Robert
Garrett was named as a trustee In his
fathers place 1t met with decided opposi-
ton, and II was not until long after his
name was proposed that he was accepted.
Miss Garrett, DESTROYS of having her fathers
views carried ont, offers to endow the uni
verstty with $4,000 per annum on condi:
lion that the institution Is removed, and
that the money Is used to sustain seien-
tific school in connection with the univer-
sity. !,
Miss Garrett Is the possessor Of an Inn
\ mense fortune, aud Is unmarried. She has
| given FREQUENT evidence OF public spirit.
| The endowment offered, according to the
| report, Is TO be In the shape OF an annual
4 contribution OF the sum named during the
donors lifetime, and after her death the
i continuance Of tho income isto be provided
for by an endowment. Theproposition o.
Miss Garrett Is said to be under considera
lion by the trustees, who doubtless fully
appreciate the immense importance OF sucf
| an addition to their income. The endow
ment OF the university, although large. Il
by no means sufficient to meet all the re-
dulrements OF an institution Of such scope
The popularimpresslon that the Johns Hop
kins Is enormously rich has, 1t is believes
by some OF the friends OF the Institution
prevented 1t from receiving legacies, sucl
as other universities are continually receiy
ing. Harvard is much richer than the John
Hopkins, aud there are several other Inst
tutions having larger endowments.
